Templates that do not show the sale badges automatically are not standard WooCommerce themes and need some modification in order to work as expected. These problems are caused mainly by not following WooCommerce best coding practices when designing themes. However, we have provided these specific theme installations that are known to be troubling. If your theme is in the list just follow the installtion instuctions.

These themes work as expected with the default settings: Avada, Bridge, Divi, Flatsome, Listify, Salient, The 7, X Theme and all WooThemes, Elegant Themes and Default WordPress Themes.. The default settings follow, if the specified option is empty, just leave it empty.

Any product can have a custom badge! Find out how!

Default sale badges can be set for each product separetly. If you want to use this option, you'll need to activate the Single Product Badges in the Installation tab.
